In Fall 2001, the Georgia Tech Center for Experimental Research in Computer
Systems (CERCS) opened its doors. CERCS brings together researchers from
Georgia Tech's College of Computing
and School of Electrical and Computer
Engineering and the CETI
Center at The Ohio State University who share a common focus on the design and evaluation of
computer and software systems through experimental methods. CERCS
research focuses on complex systems, including their hardware, communications
and system-level software, and applications. By emphasizing the experimental
method, we promote the creation of knowledge through the design, implementation,
and measurement of potentially large-scale prototype systems. Constituting
one of the largest experimental systems programs in the U.S., CERCS has
a mission to:

lead the innovation of new information and computing technologies,

construct the interactive information grids of the future, and

create the intellectual capital that can advance these technologies and fuel future advances.

Oak Ridge CSE Fellowship Program, a new program
providing support for PhD students to help foster increased collaborative
research in computational science and engineering between Georgia Tech and
ORNL, has been announced. The application
deadline is April 18, 2008.
